In depth
Verdict
Arlequin De Sou has been raised 7lb for his Haydock victory in October but was still very much in contention when falling close home at this track earlier in the month and is taken to resume winning ways on ground that will hold no terrors. Be My Manager is another mudlark who has claims on his placed effort here last month but was a little below par last time while Duchamp is not the easiest to predict and can't be backed with confidence. Ex-Irish performer Quality First is hard to assess but will also relish the conditions and can't be ruled out in an open betting heat.
